Scott,

I purchased this hull about 2 weeks ago.I will say that with the 260 zen,this baby handles like it is on rails.The motor pushes along at a good clip.I have people stopping and watching every time I take it for a spin.

Wish you the best of luck with yours.I plan on a second hull in the winter.

[Doubledog]

We spoke via email but once again, the boat looks freakin' sweet!

Not to take anything away from your thread bud, but after seeing one of your Sweethearts with a Sweetheart, I've got to post this:

(recognize the boat?) :)

best paint job ive ever seen

[Ron Olson]

Ah pity da foo that runs into your boat! :D Sweet paint job, you have a ton of work into it and it shows. I quit doing trick paint work on mine as it seemed to draw other boats to them.

[Chris LaPanse]

:eek: :eek: :eek: I wish I could paint like that. That thing is SICK :D :D :D

[Doubledog]

Ron, thats my thoughts exactly. Got tired of the nervous breakdowns worrying about getting banged up. Still do, though just not as bad. LOL

[scottericsonon]

well the way i look at it if it gets screwed up i just sand it down and start over

i love painting stuff

i buy a new body for my NTC3 almost every week for fresh canvas

id LOVE to paint another boat but cash for another hull just isnt in the cards right now

scott

[swiftyfrommi]

Where did you get the metallic paint?

[Doubledog]

If you're talking about the blue base thats metalllic, then thats the gelcoat used from the maker. Looks sweet doesn't it.

[scottericsonon]

jamies right

the boat had the blue /silver gelcoat when i got it well actually what looks like silver really isnt

its a hologram type pearl/metallic that throws off different colors when the sun hits it

in indoor type lighting it looks silverish but in the sun ut looks blue or orange depending how the light is hitting it



i just did the graphics heres what it looked like when i bought it

rest of the paint is createx auto air

the dark flame outlines on the sponsons are color changing from blue to green

the orange flames are candy orange sprayyed over a heavy pearl white base with irridesent blue shading

the windows and boat name are "mirror "sticker i got at my LHS

dragons are pearl purple

shot through my badger 175 and 360

all freehand drawn by me

[hydromania]

Scott,yes I did buy a for a buck hull from vern.I powered it with a 260 zen.This hull is actually better made through Central illinois powerboats.I have one of there 57 inch apache boats.they do make a rock solid hull.I want a 48 off shore through them but they are having problems with there mold.

The boat I have is silver into purple,sparkles big time in the light.Both boats will be displayed here in good old hollywood Md at the local hobbie shop thursday through sunday while I am on Vacation.

I have been busy,put these two together in about three weeks of evenings.

The next project will be set up for complete show,ballantine hardware,bonzi staged motor .....the works.I will make that a winter project.I paid out of pocket a bit to much here lately.$$$$$$ goes fast into a gas boat.

Lets see some pics

i saw CIP made the same hull

theres one or two others floating around on ebay as well

mines almost all the way together still aiting on a pipe to finish it off

where is hollywood MD?
we used to go down to port deposit/conewingo dam area when i had a real boat

my next boat will be a hydro
i wouldnt mind finding a wooden kit to work on over the winter otherwise it will have to wait
that one will be my "speed demon"boat

what hardware are you running on you verns hull?

ive got all speedmaster stuff on mione

going to start off with an ABC G20 prop

well see how she runs with that for now

hopefully more pics this weekend

[Doubledog]

Hopefully the pipe will arrive Sat. because I'm about tired of the indoor chat. We need to get this thing in the water and haulin!

[hydromania]

scott,

I am running a 260 zen with wharehouse hobbies xp outdrive and a prather 275 prop.the outdrive has no stand off bracket.I swear this boat handles like it is on rails.

CIP makes the best hull.I have there apache 57 inch hull.

Will post pics next week.

[hydromania]

Also running through a wet tuned pipe that exits through the transom,did not want to cut cowl for the dry pipe.
